How much water does this unit use when it regenerates? Thank you.

My understanding is that it is timed. I suggest you watch the best video I could find. I should also say that the seller was happy to help me in any way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbYV4xg_USQ

It really depends on how much you use it, it says about 16 gallons per filter, but I've found that it varies from time of the year (you drink more water in the summer), I'd say you would have to replace a filter at least once every 2 months.

This unit will produce about 4 gallons of water waste per gallon purified. To improve that ratio consider our permeate pump equipped model#TMULTRA-ERP. We also offer the HydroPerfection model#TMHP which adds our patented remineralization system. Also there is a FAQ that discusses water waste in more depth here: Do RO systems produce waste water, how much, and when? http://www.theperfectwater.com/waste-water.html

Yes. Our use is minimal - probably a couple gallons a day on average. When the system triggers the refill, it only takes a very short time. Once tank is full, it just sits there - no additional water waste.

You need to empty a bucket or run a small hose through the floor or out of the wall. I'm not sure you would want to recycle the water in the air again because part of the cooling process is reducing the relative humidity. I think all air conditioners do this---even central air.

I hate to answer a question with a question, but how much water is typically left in the tub?

I don't recall the exact amount but it is very low water use. Far less than if I washed by hand. As I recall the normal cycle only uses about 3 gallons for the entire cycle.

I no longer have this product, but I believe it held about a gallon. Usage depends on your settings and environment--very low humidity here, so running all the time it took about 2 gallons per day.

It all depends on the humidity of the room you are using this in. I've had this for a year and I've never had any water accumulate in the Unit but then Reno, NV is very arid. It is normal when first using this, for it to produce more water. As the unit runs there will be less humidity in that area, so it will taper off some.

REU-KB3237WD-US I love it! I see a significant difference in my gas bill, and I don't run out of hot water. The only thing is the unit needs a minimum amount of water running through it in order to heat. So you do waste water.

Sorry. I did not keep the unit long enough to answer. I believe you add as much water as cups you want.

4 Gal. 12x15 works great. I already had a system but wanted something smaller easier to manage. I added a valve and tubing to container for drainage. As well I upgraded my airstone to two and larger ones than what comes with it. I would suggest an extra pump capable of running two to three lines for the airstones and hook up two. More bubbles means more co2 and better roots. Hope it helps.

The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power. I don't have a clamp on amp meter and decline to build a rig to measure the voltage and current while it is in use. You could measure the amount of water, the temperature change and calculate the power required presuming perfect efficiency. All of that I decline to do as well. Sorry all I got is the 1500 watts.If you are worried about current draw on a given circuit I expect that this thing will draw around 12 to 13 amps. That is a guess not a professional opinion. I retired and put my license on inactive. The unit has a UL label on the bottom that says 1500 watts. I doubt if it actually uses quite that much power.

Mine usually runs for 10-12 before I refill it. It's going to depend on the level of saturation you put it to.

I am really sadden by the amount of waste water! My water bill went up $50 a month since using this item! I have a family of 5 and use it for drinking and cooking water. I estimate that we waste about 8 gallons of water a day 30x8=240 gallons of wasted water a month...and that is estimating low. No wonder my water bill has gone up so much. I may have to stop using it. I live in a desert and it's just irresponsible to waste so much water!

I think only about 1.3 gallons. We just bought this for the office and it is not running for nearly 36 hours like the manufacturer suggests.

I don't recall how much water, but the instructions came with the product, telling you how much water to use. One package descaled mine, but if you have let the machine go longer, you may need to do it twice. I used to use vinegar, and ran it through several times, straining it through a coffee filter before reusing it. I think you could do the same with the cleaner solution if the descale light doesn't go out.
